and State of -Washington, have inventeda certain new. and usefulImprovement in Oil- Burners, of which the following is a spec fication.'1

'My invention relates'to improvementsin burners thatare adapted to burnfluid fuel such as crude oil, kerosene and the like, but moreparticularly my invention relates to burners that may. be employed inconnection with" stoves adapted for heating and cooking and the objectof my invention is to provide a burner that shall be simple in itsconstruction, easily cleaned, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture,reliable and eflicient in its operation, and that shall be adapted toutilize for its fuel different mineral oil products, and a furtherobject is to provide a burner that may be readily attached to variousforms of stoves that are now in general use.

I accomplish these objects by devices illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein-- Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a burnerembodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same; and

Fig. 3 is an end view of the same on broken line 3, 3 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, throughout which like reference numeralsindicate like parts,'the numeral 5 designates the base portion of aburner, preferably of cast iron, having formed therein a depressedportion or priming pan 6. r

Extending upwardly and integral with the base portion 5 is a raisedportion 7 which is adapted to have disposed therein the lower portion 8of the burner, said lower portion 8 passing through and beyond the holes9 in said raised portion 7 and being fixedly secured to the base portion5 by cleat 10 said lower portion 8 also resting upon the flanges 11. V

Disposed in the top surface of the lower portion 8 is a hole forming ajet 12 that registers with the center of the square opening 13 in thetop of the raised portion 7.

The generating portion of the burner being preferably formed of pipe andbeing" bent to form a lower portion 8, the middle portion 14 and the twoupper portions 15,

said middle portion being disposed directly abovethelower portion 8 andbelow and halfway between said upper portions 15, said upper portionsbeing in a horizontal plane with respect toone another.

QSlidably disposed upon the middle portion 14 is a deflector, of castiron, comprising a flat portion 16 that at all times is suspended by thering 17 in'the position shown in the drawings by reason of the weight ofsaid flat portion 16. g

Screwed upon the end portion 8 is a cap 18 which may be removed to cleanthe interior of said end portion 8 when it becomes necessary to removeany foreign substance that may collect therein.

Screwed to the upper portion 15 is an elbow 19 into which is screwed areducer 20 that is adapted to have the pipe 21 disposed therein saidpipe 21 having another elbow 22 attached thereto into which elbow 22 isscrewed another pipe 23 that may lead to a source of supply of fluidfuel not shown.

Disposed in the side wall of the raised portion 7 isa slot or opening24.

Directly beneath the jet 12 is a trough 25 which extends through theslot 24 into the priming pan 6 where said trough is secured to the baseportion 5 by means of the screw 26. f

Air for combustion passes through the open space 27 formed beneath theraised portion 7 to the flame that may emit from the jet 12 where itmixes with said flame.

The operation of my burner is as follows: The deflector is placeddirectly above the jet 12 and a fluid fuel, under pressure or bygravity, is allowed to flow from its source of supply, not shown,through the pipe 23, pipe 21, upper portions 15, middle portion 14, andlower portion 8 where it will pass through the jet 12 and find its wayto the priming pan 6 by means of the trough 25 where it may be lightedto cause the burner to become heated thereby gasifying the fluid fuelcontained therein and causing a flame to be emitted from the jet 12,said flame striking the bottom surface of the flat portion 16 of thedeflector and be deflected around the middle portion 14 and the upperportions 15 causing all of said portions and the stove to be heated.

It will be obvious from the foregoing description that I have provided aburner that is inexpensiveto manufacture and that is easily cleaned andadapted to be readily atv tached to various forms of stoves.

Obviously changes may be made in the form of construction andarrangement of parts of my invention without departing from the spiritthereo What I claim is:

In a device of the class described, an elongated base having alongitudinal priming pan formed therein at one side, a tapered mixingchamber carried by the base at its other side and between the endsthereof, the chamber having an outlet in its top and being provided inthe side adjacent the center of the base with a slot located close tothe bottom of the priming pan, a burner pipe extended longitudinallyofthe. base, and embodying a middle portion located above the chamberoutlet, a lower portion passing through the mixing chamber at one si'deof the slot, and. two materially spaced upper portions located atopposite sides of and Copies of this patent may be obtained'for fivecents each, by addressing the secured to the base exteriorly of thechamber within the priming pan, the inner end of the trough lying belowthe jet orifice in the lower portion of the pipe, the trough beinginclined transversely of the base toward the outer endthereof, and adeflector suspended from the'middle portion of theburner pipe above thechamber outlet and between and below the two upper portions of said pipeSo as to deflect the heat laterallyytoward said 4 upper portions of theburner pipe before reaching the height of the latter.

In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 19th day ofFebruary A. D. 1919., 7
